Top 12 Trucks With the Most Front-Passenger Room for 2012
When you think about trucks, you typically think about large beds in back made to accommodate everyone from professional contractors to Home Depot hobbyists, but if you're taller and/or wider than average, you know room up front matters a great deal, too.
With these concerns in mind, here are the 12 pickups (we've got more than our usual 10 here due to ties) offering the most front-passenger room. Each truck earned its ranking based on an average of head-, hip- and legroom, and all measurements shown are in inches.
Of course, it's important to remember that you can learn only so much from numbers on a page. Use this information to help you narrow your pool of choices, but log some actual seat time before making a purchase.
